The Christmas Pickle, 3" with Legend Card

This, the medium pickle available; it is for the "middle-aged" child. The pickle ornament is also available in 4-1/4" (for the youngest child) or 1-1/4" for the older child.

Legend card: "A pickle used as decoration on a Christmas tree seems odd at first, but it is an old German tradition. It is customary to hide a pickle among the branches of the tree on Christmas Eve. The first child on Christmas Day to find the Christmas pickle receives an extra gift! The reason for three sizes of the pickle are for the ages of the children. The largest pickles are for the toddlers. As they grow up the pickle size gets smaller." - Inge-Glas

and a Pickle Poem:

Every family has their own tradition for the special treat enjoyed by the child who finds the pickle. The following are possibilities for your tradition:

The child who finds the pickle:

- has good luck throughout the year
